Baseball Pictures...

Two questions: Did you see George Costanza's car in the parking lot and when did you switch to the new scorebook?

I could not find the Yankee's employee parking lot, so that's a no. I was looking for a car that may have been parked in the same spot for days on end, with bird poop and Chinese restaurant fliers on the windshield.

The new scorebook is from Project Scoresheet. I printed a home and visitor page from this site:

Then I took them to Kinko's and had them copied and bound into a 50-game book. I am 28 games into the book and I've been using it since the beginning of 2005.

This is the scoring system that the people at Retrosheet.org prefer to recreate detailed play-by-play accounts of games.

I have briefly read about Project Scoresheet but have never looked at those PDF files. I am intrigued by scoring system. I like the detail included and the field matrix. But I have a few reservations about it. For one, anyone who picks up the new scoresheet will have no clue what is written down. Second, learning the new system must be hard the first few games. Third, I like filling in the infield when someone scores.
